Mississippi AG sues State Farm for breach of contract

Back in January, Mississippi's attorney general, Jim Hood, agreed to drop State Farm Mutual Fire and Casualty Company from a lawsuit that his office filed against several insurance companies for refusing to cover damage to homes from Katrina's storm surge.   The dismissal of the orignial lawsuit was part of a deal in which State Farm was to seek certification of a class of some 36,000 policyholders, and settle the class action by setting up a new claims adjudication process that would reexamine the claims of people who had not sued State Farm.  Judge L.T.
